Babble in Mayfair strokes the edge of Berkeley Square, a few minutes’ walk from Green Park tube, and is a cocktail lounge bar and basement club that gives you the Mayfair glamour experience without the usual price tag. At weekends the party mood is striking with commercial music curated by a merciful DJ mixing hiphop, commercial house, pop, RnB, party anthems and club classics. Babble’s weekend clientele is mainly young professionals looking groomed in chic outfits.
If you’re looking for an unhinged London night of clubbing with sophistication, without the normal Mayfair price tag, head down for their Happy Hour, 5pm – 7.30pm. That way you dodge the entrance fee and can enjoy their premium spirits, beer, wine and cocktail selection with pretty much half of your bar bill still in your pocket. Not bad for a club with a focus on Champagne and indulgence, and adorned with diamond studded black booths, crystal chandeliers, velvet curtains and mirrors reflecting the vibrant guests.
Upstairs the lounge bar offers an elegant design environment much appreciated by the suits of central London who want somewhere funky to relax and mingle after work or for a bite to eat. Serving platters, cheeses and meat boards, homemade sandwiches, classic main dishes such as sausages, Aberdeen Angus lasagne, Thai green curry and salads. Top it off with a rich chocolate brownie if you can. The bar can get quite busy but you can book one of their booths in advance or simply get on the guestlist for priority entry to avoid the queues. Drinks offers, decadence and dancing are guaranteed at this popular Mayfair hotspot.
